Chas. Frankland Orvis died at his home five miles north of  Moline, April 25, at the age of 56 years and 9 days.

Mr. Orvis was born in Tideville, Ohio, April 16, 1856, where he lived until he moved to Cloud County, Kansas, removing from there to Elk county in 1908.

The funeral was conducted  by J. D. Strong from his late home, burial taking place in the Moline cemetery.

In the short time Mr Orvis had lived among us, he had made many friends, which was attested by the large concourse of friends and neighbors who followed him to his last resting place.  He leaves a loving wife and daughter to mourn his loss, who truly feel that thier house is left  unto them desolate.
